I,, understand that the summer preparatory packet will be graded for completion, by my teacher, and checked for correctness in class. The assessment for this material will be after 9/12/17. Student name (print): Student signature: Date: Parent signature: Date: Scientific Notation Notes What is Scientific Notation? Definition A way to write very large or very small numbers more easily (takes up less space and less likely to make mistakes.) Often used by scientists. Ex: 3.45 x 10 9 instead of 3,450,000,000 A number is in scientific notation when it has a number between 1 and 10 multiplied by 10 to a power. Which of the following are in scientific notation? Explain x x 10 5

4 How to put numbers into scientific notation 0.35 x x 10-6 * the circled items are in scientific notation because their numbers are between 1 and 10 (not bigger like 56.7 or smaller like 0.35) Examples #1. 37,498, 000, How to change numbers from scientific notation to standard form 1. Move the decimal point until you have a number between 1 and Count the number of digits you moved the decimal point over. This number becomes the power of If you moved the decimal point to the right, it is a negative power (you started with a really small decimal.) If you moved the decimal point to the left, it is a positive power (you started with a really large number.) 4. Rewrite the number with the decimal point where you moved it to and multiplied by 10 n. Correct answer is: x # Examples # x 10 4 Correct Answer is: 4.92 x Move the decimal point the number of digits indicated by the power on the 10. You may need to add some zeros. 2. If the power is positive, move the decimal point to the right. (this will give you a large number.) If the power is negative, move the decimal point to the left. (This will give you a small decimal number.) 3. Double check that you counted the number of digit spaces to move the decimal point correctly- this is the most common mistake.

5 Correct answer is: 14,500 # x Correct answer is: Scientific Notation Practice Part A: Express each of the following in standard form x x x x x x 10 1

6 x x 10 3 Part B: Express each of the following in scientific notation , , Part C: Use the exponent function on your calculator (EE or EXP) to compute the following. 1. (6.02 x ) (8.65 x 10 4 ) 8. (5.4 x 10 4 ) (2.2 x 10 7 ) 4.5 x (6.02 x ) (9.63 x 10 2 ) 9. (6.02 x ) ( 1.42 x ) 6.54 x x (6.02 x ) ( 5.11 x ) 8.9 x x ( 4.12 x 10 4 ) (7.33 x ) 11. (3.1 x ) (4.4 x ) 6.6 x x (8.2 x 10 3 ) ( 7.9 x 10 7 ) 4.2 x x x ( 1.6 x 10 5 ) ( 2.4 x ) 6.02 x x ( 3.2 x 10 7 ) ( 8.6 x 10 9 ) 14. (7.0 x ) ( 3.2 x ) ( 6.4 x )

7 Accuracy and Precision Definitions: Accuracy how close a measurement is to Precision- how close a measurement is to Precision versus Accuracy Look at each target and decide whether the hits are accurate, precise, both accurate and precise, or neither accurate nor precise. (Note: an accurate hit is a bulls eye!)

8 Accurate? Precise? YES/ NO YES/NO Accurate? Precise? YES/NO YES/NO Accurate? Precise? YES/NO YES/NO Precision Problems: A group of students worked in separate teams to measure the length of an object. Here are their data: Team 1 Team 2 Team 3 Team 4 Team 5 Team 6 Team cm 2.75 cm 2.80 cm 2.77 cm 2.60 cm 2.65 cm 2.68 cm The average length is cm This is the mean or the average. Subtract the highest value from the lowest value: cm This is the range or spread. Divide this number by 2: cm This is the approximate ± range from the average. The precision of the measurement can be shown as average ± range. The precision of the measurement was ± cm. A second group of students obtained the following data: Team 8 Team 9 Team 10 Team 11 Team 12 Team 13 Team cm 2.70 cm 2.80 cm 2.75 cm 2.65 cm 2.62 cm 2.78 cm The average length is cm The precision of the measurement was ± cm In comparing groups, the first or the second, which group was more precise or was the precision the same? Justify your answer.

9 Expressing Errors in Measurement Scientists often express their uncertainty and error in measurement by giving a percent error. The percent error is defined as: % error = actual value theoretical value x 100 actual value Answer the following questions. Show your work! 1. While doing a lab, a student found the density of a piece of pure aluminum to be 2.85 g/cm 3. The accepted value for the density of aluminum is 2.70 g/cm 3. What was the student's percent error? 2. A student measured the specific heat of water to be 4.29 J/g C o. The literature value of the specific heat of water is 4.18 J/g C o. What was the student s percent error? 3. A student took a calibrated gram mass, weighed it on a laboratory balance, and found it read g. What was the student s percent error? Summer Reading This portion of your summer packet requires you to log on to two different websites, and read the articles thoroughly. Be prepared for class discussion on these articles in September. If you do not have access to the internet, copies of these articles are located in the Guidance office. 1. The Origin of the Metric System

10 2. The Ancestors of E=mc 2 Clearview SI Conversion Factors for Test Hand-Out Meters Kilometers > Meters > Millimeters 1 kilometer equals 1000 meters or 1 meter equals kilometers 1 hectometer equals 100 meters or 1 meter equals 0.01 hectometers 1 dekameter equals 10 meters or 1 meter equals 0.1 dekameter 1 meter equals 10 decimeters or 1 decimeter equals 0.1 meter 1 meter equals 100 centimeters or 1 centimeter equals 0.01 meter

11 1 meter equals 1000 millimeters or 1 millimeter equals meters Kilograms Kilogram > Gram > Milligram 1 kilogram equals 1000 grams or 1 gram equals kilograms 1 gram equals 1000 milligrams or 1 milligram equals gram Liters Kiloliters > Liters > Milliliters 1 kiloliter equals 1000 liters or 1 liter equals kiloliters 1 liter equals 1000 milliliters or 1 milliliter equals liter Seconds 1 second equals 1000 milliseconds or 1 millisecond equals second 1 second equals (1,000,000) microseconds or 1 microsecond equals seconds 1 second equals (1,000,000,000) nanoseconds or 1 nanosecond equals ( ) seconds Liter Conversions to Volume and Mass 1 ml of H2O at 4 O C equals 1 cm 3 (cubic centimeter) of H2O 1000 cm 3 is equal to 1000 ml which is equal to 1 Liter 1 Liter is equal to 1 dm 3 (cubic decimeter) 1 M 3 (cubic meter) is equal to 1000 dm 3 or 1 dm 3 is equal to M 3 I cm 3 of H2O at 4 O C is equal to one gram Metric Conversions With Factors Or King Henry is Dead Name Symbol Size Factor or nano n nm 1 m 1 m 10 9 nm micro µ µm 1m 1 m 10 6 µm milli m mm 1 m 1 m 10 3 mm centi c cm 1 m 1 m 10 2 cm

12 kilo k km 10 3 m Mega M Mm 10 6 m 10 3 m 1 km 10 6 m 1 Mm Start with a number fact, such as 4.1 cm or ml. Examine the units of the desired answer. Multiply your fact with the factor what you want what you have The starting units cancel out and you end up with the desired units. 4.1cm 1 m 10 2 cm or cm Some conversions require more than one factor; e.g. we do not convert directly from kg to g. So, the best approach is to convert from kg to g (the base unit) then from g to g. 0.38kg 10 3 g 10 6 g g 1 kg 1 g Remember, even though we write factors with x signs, we multiply by the numerators and divide by the denominators. Factor Label Method for Conversions Tutorial Problem: How many seconds are there in a month? Step#1: Draw a straight horizontal line on your paper. Step #2: Start by writing the given on the top left of the line that you just drew. 1 month

13 Step #3: Next, start your conversions by placing the identical unit below the line. Then draw a vertical line between the units and place the equivalent conversion factor above the horizontal line. 1 month 30 days 1 month Step #4: Continue to place identical units below the line and their equivalent conversion factor above the line until you reac the final desired unit. 1 month 30 days 24 hours 60 minutes 60 seconds 1 month 1 day 1 hour 1 minutes Step #5: Eliminate like units, simplify numerical values, and multiply all numbers in the numerator together and all numbers in the denominator together. 1 month 30 days 24 hours 60 minutes 60 seconds 1 month 1 day 1 hour 1 minutes Step #6: Provide final answer with units. ( 2,592,000 seconds) Factor Label Conversions Convert the following given values to the requested value using the factor label method. Show all of your work! human years is equal to dog years. ( 1 human year = 7 dog years)
